Cirkel solo's
Especially for the first edition of Dansdagen Haarlem last April, young choreographers with various dance styles each created a 'circle solo': a choreography danced by one dancer within an illuminated circle. This resulted in an intense and intimate dance twosome with the audience sitting in a circle around the dancer. Due to the great success of the performance, it can now also be seen during Julidans.

Two intense dance solos in a circle of light
In UNseen, Sherise Strang explores her most vulnerable side. She examines the impact of a physical scar and the emotional scars it leaves behind. It is a journey of discovery towards recognition, the desire to be seen, and embracing all facets of oneself.
-|-In Dear Future Me, award-winning creator Dalton Jansen takes you on an exciting journey to a futuristic world. Dressed in a glitter suit, Jansen enters a new universe where urban and contemporary dance converge. The choreography explores not only the limits of the physical body, but also the limits of the imagination.
The solo was commissioned by Schuur and Stadsschouwburg Haarlem with support from Province of Noord-Holland (impuls startende makers)
About Sherise Strang
Sherise Strang graduated from the Amsterdam University of the Arts in 2016. In recent years, she and her sister (Gianine Strang) have conducted research into the healing powers of dance and movement. Dance is energy and she therefore started to focus more and more deeply on its healing power. In her work, Sherise is looking for purity, the unprocessed and new connections.
